Electric Vehicle Charging Installations at Filling Stations

As part of the rapid growth and development of the whole electric vehicle charging infrastructure, filling stations are seen as an obvious place to provide charging facilities. However, it is recognised that difficult safety and logistical issues are linked to such installations. With the publication of the 5th Edition of the Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation there have been various technical developments to help clarify the safety issues that needed to be addressed in this area. APEA (the Association for Petroleum and Explosives Administration) who represent the major stakeholders in this sector have again collaborated with the IET in issuing this joint publication to help provide important guidance in this area.
